Summer Walker surprised all of her fans and followers with a late-hour rowdy clip uncut, so nostalgic! The R&B star posted a short clip with an obscure caption spelled out “This real life we don’t edit, Mwuah 💋,” as Pretty Ricky’s 2005 hit “Stay” began to blare out, and suddenly, waves of recognition and appreciation flowed in the comment section.

That song always tugged at someone’s heart with lush vocals accompanied by a small dose of early 2000s R&B nostalgia. One fan almost instantly commented: “PRETTY RICKY ALWAYS GONE BE THE VIBE. 😍,” while another lamented, “They don’t make hits like this no more😩😭😭.” At least a wave of comments followed the old-school track proving that it is still relevant.
On the flip side, there came more focus on Walker’s raw confidence. One fan said, “It’s the stretch marks for me 😍😍❤️❤️🔥🔥,” celebrating that she owns her beauty. Another one said, “Gotta get my money up so I can look just like this 🔥,” and there was a hilarious claim accusing her of stealing vibes from their playlist.
Then there were some reactions that were not very flattering. One user said somethings like, “Nah I thought this was summer off baddies africa 😂😂😂 gurlllll summer u gotta step it up boo its yiving basic ns” while also comparing Walker’s look to an African off Baddies reality star. Even though it was meant to be offensive, it ironically points to the fact that Walker’s aesthetics do stir-up conversation.
The post certainly returned to bring back some love to Pretty Ricky’s Marcus Cooper. A fan remarked, “Love me some Marcus Cooper… His vocals are everything 🔥🔥🔥.” Then, a shoutout was made on how the song touched lives: “This song is a SMAAASSSHHH,” standing to confirm the fact that, despite the almost 20 years’ distance between the making of this song and today, it still carries the same appeal.
Summer Walker, owning the edit-free 2000s throwback, was purely the right mix of nostalgia and authentic. Whether it was for hype for the track, admiration of her unexaggerated beauty, or comical debates about her style, this post turned into a mini-celebration of early 2000s R&B and unedited confidence.
Let’s just say-anytime a Pretty Ricky mention comes out in 2024, it’s gonna be vibing for sure. Those comments alone speak about those tracks (and that artist) that simply don’t age. So sure, Summer Walker just tossed out some random clip, but that kind of engagement? Nah, it cannot be faked.

So, if you needed a sign to get on it and revisit “Stay” today, consider that. Then, perhaps, follow a little bit after Walker herself—straight no chaser. The Internet will definitely back it up.
